The 10 item or less checkout or express checkout, do you get irritated?

crazynurse @crazynurse (7482) • United States 26 Jan 07

kminer I do! So you are not alone. I do sometimes wonder how "close" to 10 you can have - some times I just need baby food jars, so I'd have more than 10 but they are tiny little items .... usually I go in the longer line though so as not to upset people :)

moirax23 @moirax23 (317) • Malta 24 Jan 07

Do you know a nice mascara or any other beauty product which you'd like to recommend? The best mascara I've found is L'Oreal Double Extension which is good it really gives volume to your eyelashes, I'd recommend it very much.

Do You Feel It Is Important To Sit Down To Meals With Your Family?

ShadyGrove @ShadyGrove (996) • United States 20 Jan 07
